Neapolitan style jackets
This is a double breasted jacket I tailored for myself to show some style options referred to as 'Italian'. And how to match patterns. Basically a Neapolitan style jacket with some personal style preferences. I like to use the classics but then add some personal spice to give my dress style a personal pinch.
Spalla Camicia shoulder style with shirring
A Spalla Camicia. A style option I love and hate😀 why? Regarding the creation of a clean shoulder line I prefer a more English cut. Regarding my Fuck You attitude I pose for the Spalla Camicia + shirring. SHIRRING, the small pleats, folds where the shoulder connects to the sleeve. When you have straight or athletic shoulders this style tends to raise up. All nice for a Pitti theater but you look like you have been hung on a washing line to dry before. Not very elegant. Spalla Camicia, says your sleeve has been put under-in the armhole instead of attached to it. Just like a dress shirt, it says shirt shoulder.
